InterContinental Hotel Group (IHG®) announced today the signing of the hotel management contract for InterContinental Okinawa Chura SUN Resort which is set to open in 2023.

Okinawa has been attracting domestic and overseas travelers with breathtaking blue ocean and rich nature as well as its history and local culture, welcoming 10 million visitors last year and hitting the highest record ever. The new-build InterContinental resort will be located in Chura SUN Beach, an area boasting the closest white sandy beach to the airport and offers well-maintained facilities and a convenient access. The neighborhood is raising attention as there is also a new development project for shopping, restaurant and entertainment complex in the area.

The resort will be designed by Kengo Kuma and Associates and Habitech Architects Joint Venture. Kengo Kuma is globally known as a master of architect. Consisting of two separate wings (a hotel wing and a villa wing), the resort features open space with signature InterContinental modern design to create a sophisticated, luxury resort. With 373 rooms, the resort offers guests a memorable resort experience with facilities including four restaurants and a bar, banquet rooms and meeting facilities, a large hot spring, recreation center, indoor and outdoor pool, fitness center, and a chapel.
